Valley 4

{{#badges: CoalSwarm}}
Valley 4 was planned to be built alongside three existing units in Savoy, Texas.[1]

As part of a $45 billion buyout by a group of private equity firms, TXU – now named Luminant – settled a series of lawsuits with Environmental Defense and the Natural Resources Defense Council. In an agreement announced on Feb. 26, 2007, TXU agreed to cancel 8 of its planned 11 new Texas coal-fired power plants as well as several new coal-fired plants in Pennsylvania and Virginia, back federal legislation to create a cap-and-trade system regulating CO2 emissions, and double spending on energy efficiency. In return, Environmental Defense and NRDC agreed not to campaign against TXU’s remaining three Texas coal-fired plants.[2]

Valley 4 was one of the 8 Texas plants that were cancelled under this agreement.
